Trusted by NHS organisations, pathology providers, laboratories, and healthtech innovators, 6B delivers full-lifecycle Cirdan Ultra integration, from discovery and architecture through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We build secure, scalable integrations for electronic requesting, results viewing, analyser connectivity, digital pathology, clinical decision support, operational dashboards, and population health services.
Our team combines pathology workflow knowledge with expertise in HL7, FHIR, REST APIs, medical-device connectivity, terminology mapping, identity management, and clinical safety. We ensure requests, specimens, observations, reports, and alerts remain accurately linked to the correct patient and clinical team.
Understanding Cirdan Ultra
Cirdan Ultra is a laboratory information system designed to support multidisciplinary pathology workflows across clinical and diagnostic laboratory environments.
The platform supports processes from requesting and specimen registration through testing, validation, authorisation, and reporting. It can support disciplines including biochemistry, haematology, microbiology, transfusion, cellular pathology, and other specialist laboratory services.
Ultra can connect with EPRs, order communications systems, analysers, middleware, digital pathology platforms, and third-party applications using standards including HL7, FHIR, APIs, and other integration methods.
Its configurable architecture can support individual laboratories, multidisciplinary services, and multi-site pathology environments where consistent workflows, terminology, specimen traceability, and reporting are essential.
Our Cirdan Ultra Integration Process
We begin with structured discovery involving pathology, clinical, operational, digital, technical, and governance stakeholders. Together, we define disciplines, workflows, users, data requirements, safety constraints, and intended outcomes.
Typical integrations include electronic test requests, acknowledgements, specimen tracking, analyser connectivity, preliminary and authorised results, digital pathology workflows, critical-result alerts, analytics, and population health services.
We map information throughout the diagnostic pathway, including NHS numbers, local identifiers, orders, specimens, containers, accession numbers, test codes, observations, units, reference ranges, result statuses, comments, and reports.
Architecture may use HL7 v2, FHIR, REST APIs, integration engines, secure web services, analyser protocols, middleware, file exchange, or event-driven messaging. We define handling for administration updates, new and amended requests, specimen events, preliminary and corrected results, final reports, cancellations, additional tests, patient merges, and failed messages.
Where digital pathology is involved, we ensure cases, specimens, slides, images, findings, and reports remain correctly associated across Ultra and connected imaging or viewing platforms.
Reusable components accelerate delivery, including HL7 parsers, FHIR handlers, laboratory mappings, identity-matching services, validation rules, and routing pipelines. Secure testing validates patient matching, requests, specimens, terminology, units, reference ranges, permissions, audit trails, sequencing, failure recovery, and downtime reconciliation.
Before launch, we coordinate acceptance testing, clinical safety review, deployment, and documentation. After go-live, we monitor data flows, resolve issues, and maintain compatibility with Ultra and NHS changes.
Benefits of Cirdan Ultra Integration
Clinicians gain faster access to requests, specimen updates, preliminary findings, and authorised results within established workflows. Structured electronic requesting improves completeness and reduces avoidable errors.
Laboratory teams benefit from less rekeying, stronger specimen traceability, and consistent workflow information. Analyser, middleware, and digital pathology connections reduce manual handling and improve continuity across diagnostic processes.
Patients benefit from faster, more reliable diagnostic pathways, particularly for urgent and critical results. Operational teams gain visibility of demand, turnaround times, workload, specimen quality, analyser activity, and capacity.
Multi-site pathology services can standardise integration patterns, improve cross-laboratory information flows, and support shared diagnostic workflows.
For healthtech vendors, Cirdan Ultra integration provides standards-based access to modern laboratory environments.
Why Choose 6B for Cirdan Ultra Integration?

Readiness checklist for Cirdan Ultra Integration
- Define the pathology workflows and use cases your integration will support, such as electronic requesting, specimen tracking, analyser connectivity, digital pathology, results reporting, alerts, or analytics.
- Identify the Ultra disciplines, EPR, PAS, order communications, middleware, analysers, digital pathology platforms, and third-party systems involved in each workflow.
- Confirm which HL7 messages, FHIR resources, APIs, integration-engine interfaces, analyser protocols, or secure transfer methods are available within the target deployment.
- Map patient identifiers, requests, order numbers, specimens, accession numbers, test codes, observations, result statuses, reference ranges, and reports across connected systems.
- Confirm how local test catalogues, specimen types, units, reference ranges, abnormal flags, and result codes will be mapped and validated.
- Define which system will act as the source of truth for demographics, orders, specimen status, results, report amendments, and cancellations.
- Confirm authentication, authorisation, role-based access, encryption, service-account, network, and audit-logging requirements.
- Prepare governance and clinical safety documentation, including the lawful basis, DPIA, DSPT position, and applicable DCB0129 or DCB0160 responsibilities.
